Severe Toothache

What it is: A focused examination helps identify whether pain is coming from decay, a crack, the nerve, the bite, the gums or another source.

When considered: Call for throbbing pain, lingering sensitivity, pain with biting or pain that interrupts sleep.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
